Description
A drive shaft is a mechanical component used to transmit power from a vehicle’s engine and transmission to the wheels. It plays a key role in rear-wheel drive, four-wheel drive, and all-wheel drive vehicles.
The drive shaft rotates at high speeds and must be strong and balanced to handle torque while minimizing vibrations. It usually includes universal joints (U-joints) or constant velocity (CV) joints to allow flexibility and movement.
Proper maintenance of the drive shaft ensures smooth power delivery and prevents issues like vibrations or unusual noises while driving.
